Everyone that knows me already know that I rarely stray from my black jeans, black T-shirt and a black jacket - tailored or leather. I like to have a uniform and one that's versatile. I'm a very hands-on Creative Director, and I need to feel comfortable and be able to move between both casual and more formal attire at the same time.		101
The biggest thing I'm seeing - and I have to be careful what I say here - is that people are tired of the old guard and the familiar brands.

The whole process of being one of the 10 finalists for the 'Vogue' Fashion Fund award has to be my biggest achievement to date. Meeting Anna Wintour, Diane von Furstenberg, etc., has been an amazing experience that even now gives me goose bumps when I think about it.		108
I'll always be a Brit abroad, and I love London so much, but New York is my home.		109
Spring 2010 is the second season that I'm showing the double-breasted suit. I think the right double-breasted suit is young again.		110
If you are already familiar with a brand, buying online is fast, convenient, and probably the way forward.		111
I personally like to shop in person so I can feel the product.		112
